64" springs in a 72 Blazer

[OLDCHEV4X4]

I chose the 88-98 64" springs cause that's what was available. As long as they are 64" long and 2.5" wide I don't see why they wouldn't work. The spring center pin is in the center too. (32x32).
The front spring hanger on the Blazer was too big. I couldn't get it far enough forward without hitting the body mount. On a LWB truck you might not have this problem. So I made a front hanger.
The stock original rear hanger couldn't be used for a shackle reversal. So i got the front hanger off the parts truck to use in the rear position. It had to be spaced out 1/4".
The shackle flip gives more travel and in some cases more lift. I had a 2.5 to 3" lift already and didn't want anymore, so I moved the hanger around till I got it where I wanted it. 25-30 degrees back with all the weight on it.
Lift blocks promote wheel hop. I hate lift blocks. I would rather use springs or a shackle flip than blocks.
Hope this helps a little Kurt.
